I have submitted the second book in my Dog Club Mystery Series, THE PUPPY WHO KNEW TOO MUCH to my editor. For anyone keeping track, this is my eighth completed manuscript. Even though there is only one book currently out in the world, more are coming. While I’ve been in seclusion, head down and fingers glued to my keyboard, I’ve been a bit lapse on promotion, so this blog will be dedicated to shameless promotion and solicitation.
Agatha Award nominated for BEST FIRST NOVEL, THE PLOT IS MURDER, is on sale during the month of April on Amazon (how is that for shameless promotion). If you haven’t already gotten your copy of this book, now’s the time. Kindle version is available for the low, low price of just $2.99 (yes, you read that correctly, $2.99). The print copy is selling for the bargain basement price of $10.40. Already bought a copy of the book? Let me tell you, they make great stocking stuffers for Christmas.

2018 is going to be a busy year for me and I have two other series which will releasing this year. These books are also available for preorder.

This series will feature Lillie Echosby, a widow who reconnects with an old college friend, Dixie Jefferson, who is extremely active in showing, training and competing with her standard poodles. Lillie adopts a toy poodle that she names after her favorite mystery author, Agatha Christie. Lillie and Aggie will move to the south, interact with various dog breeds and dog lovers from all over the world as they solve mysteries. Because this series is only available as an eBook, the price is just $3.99. As my mom would have said, You can’t beat that price with a stick! Preorder now and when the book releases in August, it will automatically be downloaded to your ebook reading device. BUY HERE.
I want to say, thank you to everyone who have purchased my books. I realize buying books can be expensive and I know everyone isn’t able to dole out that kind of money in support of every cozy author they love. So, if you’re looking for another way to support me and other authors, request that your local library carry our books. Requesting books at your local library is a free service libraries provide which usually involves completing an online form. It will generate a sale for the author but more importantly, it will make those books available to many more readers. One last way you can support me or any author is by leaving reviews. It warms my heart when people reach out through social media or when I read reviews left on Amazon or Goodreads (especially positive reviews). I appreciate the wonderful support and encouragement I’ve received as I pursue my dream and write cozy mysteries. Shameless promotion over, time to get back to writing.
